What a shame.. I wonder why it wasn't possible to remove the baby, or even the father, from the tank?!
Btw.. here's the (very short) YouTube video of the baby's birth..
Wow, great video! It happens so quickly, its amazing.
Child abuse? Under investigation? I am a deep lover of animals (especially ones that swim), and this is very sad, but I can't help but chuckle at the phrasing and tone of the article. What are they gonna do, question the deadbeat dad?
Yeah, guys like him need to go to prison! Anyone know of a high security fish jail?

Isn't the aquarium sort of a high-security fish jail? I guess he needs solitary.
Excellent point Evan. These fish are already in jail! They are in the Matrix! To fish born in captivity...the 'ocean' is but an myth, I suppose, that likely haunts their dreams.
Good point, except they mix the good eggs with the bad eggs. Solitary is probably the way to go. Or give him the "electric eel".

My guess is daughter didn't clean her room. The father decided to prove the point that he could bring her in this world, that he can take her out. Wonder if he'll make another just like her (name that comedian - shouldn't be hard).
In all seriousness - I wonder how manatas treat their young in the wild and if that somehow resulted in this.

The female baby manta was born Saturday at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, more than a year after its parents mated.
Over a year of labor! Phwoah!
First a stingray takes out Steve Irwin, now domestic disputes with mantas. Must be global warminig. Call the U.N.
Arlo, actually, I think it's a year of gestation that ends with labor.
ahhh....gotcha
it's because it was not a boy.
